Our client is a global leader in quantum computing, networking, sensing, and security, delivering integrated quantum solutions through its advanced quantum platform and foundry. Its newest generation of quantum computers builds on a line of cutting-edge systems that have helped customers and partners, including Amazon Web Services, AstraZeneca, and NVIDIA, achieve 20x performance improvements and accelerate innovation across drug discovery, materials science, financial modeling, logistics, cybersecurity, and defense. In 2025, the company achieved 99.99% two-qubit gate fidelity, setting a world record for quantum computing performance.\nYou will validate that our SaaS-based Quantum Security Posture Management platform works correctly against real-world, customer-representative network environments and use cases. Unlike core product QA, this role is centered on end-to-end solution validation - simulating actual customer topologies, security policies, and workflows to ensure the product delivers correct, deployable results before and after it reaches customers.\nRequirements\n10+ years of professional experience.\nStrong hands-on knowledge of Layer 2/Layer 3 networking, including VLANs, routing protocols, ACLs, NAT, and firewall rule design, across multiple vendors.\nSolid understanding of network security concepts, including segmentation, policy enforcement, common misconfigurations, and attack surface risks.\nExperience testing or validating solutions in customer-like environments, such as POCs, pilot deployments, or professional services/solutions engineering settings.\nStrong skills in user workflow and scenario-based testing, with the ability to think like an end customer rather than simply a test-case author.\nAbility to build and manage lab environments, both physical and virtual, representing diverse customer topologies.\nExcellent communication skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally with Sales, Support, and Product teams and write clear validation reports.\nWill be a plus\nCertifications such as CCNP, Security+, CEH, or equivalent.\nPrior experience in Solutions Engineering, Sales Engineering, or Professional Services for a security or networking product.\nFamiliarity with cloud networking, including AWS VPC, Azure VNet, and GCP VPC, as well as hybrid environments.\nScripting or automation skills in Python or Bash for environment setup or data import testing.\nExperience with attack surface management, CSPM, vulnerability, and security posture management tools.\nResponsibilities\nBuild realistic, customer-representative network environments, including multi-vendor Layer 2/Layer 3 topologies, firewalls, routers, switches, and cloud VPCs, to validate platform behavior against real-world deployment scenarios.\nValidate end-to-end user workflows, including onboarding, network data discovery/import, posture assessment, remediation guidance, and reporting, from the perspective of actual customer deployment.\nPartner with Sales Engineering, Customer Success, and Support to reproduce customer-reported issues, validate proof-of-concept (POC) environments, and confirm solution readiness before go-live.\nDesign test scenarios based on customer use cases, industry frameworks such as CIS Benchmarks and NIST, and common compliance requirements.\nAssess how the platform performs across varying network scales, vendor mixes, and hybrid/cloud network configurations.\nProvide structured feedback to Product and Engineering teams on gaps between platform behavior and real-world customer expectations.\nSupport pre-sales and onboarding teams with technical validation, demo environment setup, and POC troubleshooting.\nDocument validated solution scenarios, reference architectures, and known limitations for internal enablement.\nStay current with customer environments, competitive tools, and evolving network and security architectures to keep test scenarios realistic.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4030,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":10,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["DevOps & Platform Engineering","IT Outsourcing & Dedicated Teams","Custom Software Development"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-01T18:15:47Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Filed H-1B visas in the last two years","filings_12m":0,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-03T21:08:04+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":87,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.867,"p_room":1,"age_days":8,"expected_fill_days":55,"reasons":["conf:0","velocity","win:early","comp:brand"],"computed_at":"2026-10-04T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/svitla-systems-solutions-testing-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/svitla-systems-solutions-testing-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-05T01:14:22Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":1574,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":3426,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-10-06T00:00:00Z"}}}
